Super.  I'm glad things are working once again.

I distribute the DROUTE.BAT file with Unidata McIDAS-X.  Since you
havn't upgraded your McIDAS-X installation in awhile, you are not likely
to have a copy that has all of the entries you need.  I am including
the copy of DROUTE.BAT that generated the ldm-mcidas copy of ROUTE.SYS
at the end of this email.  I recommend that you make a local copy of this
file named LROUTE.BAT, and put this file in your ~mcidas/data directory.
Then, you can recreate ROUTE.SYS any time you like by:

o make sure you have a REDIRECTion that points to the copy of ROUTE.SYS
  that is located in the directory into which pnga2area decodes

o run:

  BATCH LROUTE.BAT

>2. Is the path to postprocessing *.BAT files only defined
>in the ldm-mcidas' batch.k?  ie., I want to make sure that
>the path used for postprocessing the gif products is exactly
>where I think it is.

McIDAS finds files it needs to use through two complimentary
facilities:  MCPATH and REDIRECT.

MCPATH is a colon-separated list of directories that is searched by
McIDAS programs when it looks for data and ancillary data files (like
BATCH files).

REDIRECTions are more specific ways of locating files than MCPATH, and
they take precedence over MCPATH searches.  REDIRECTions are stored in
a file named LWPATH.NAM which should be located in the user's McIDAS-X
working directory.  A user's McIDAS-X working directory is
~mcidas/workdata for the user 'mcidas' and ~user/mcidas/data for a user
named 'user'.

The McIDAS REDIRECT command builds, edits, and generally maintains
LWPATH.NAM.  You add entries to LWPATH.NAM by running REDIRECT commands
from a McIDAS-X session.  See the McIDAS-X online help for REDIRECT
(HELP REDIRECT) for more information.

The MCPATH search list is defined in the batch.k shell script that is
being run by the ROUTE PostProcess invocation.  So, the answer to your
question is that you must pay attention to both the MCPATH setting in
batch.k AND the set of REDIRECTions defined in
~mcidas/workdata/LWPATH.NAM.


<snip> ----------------- DROUTE.BAT ---------------------------------------

REM ? DROUTE.BAT - Define ROUTE table entries for products in U-W data channel.
REM ?      BATCH "DROUTE.BAT
REM ? Parameters:
REM ?      none
REM ? Keywords:
REM ?      none
REM ? Remarks:
REM ?      DROUTE runs the ROUTE command once for each product that
REM ?      is in the Unidata-Wisconsin data channel.  Additional entries
REM ?      are included for WSI NIDS products, FSL Wind Profiler data, 
REM ?      image/TOPOgraphy composites, and GOES-E/GOES-W composites.
REM ?
REM ?      Processing of the topography composite imagery (product code
REM ?      N1-N8) and the GOES East/West composite imagery (product code
REM ?      CI, CW, CV) is SUSpended.  To enable the processes that
REM ?      create the composites, release the entries for the composite
REM ?      composite products:
REM ?
REM ?      change:
REM ?         REM ROUTE REL N1 N2 N3 N4 N5 N6 N7 N8 CI CV CW
REM ?      to:
REM ?         ROUTE REL N1 N2 N3 N4 N5 N6 N7 N8 CI CV CW
